Hmm, did AOT live up to the hype?
Hmm I enjoyed the first 2 episodes but I guess I started expecting a little more based on how people have been raving over this for so long
Still a pretty good show, will keep watching

You can throw all kinds of assumptions into the mix to explain it, though. The first thing I thought when seeing those, whatever they call them, strapped to the soldiers hips was that there's no way they would ever actually work or be practical in a fight. You can find all kinds of things wrong in just about every anime if you really want to.

I know that its just anime .... but man , did the mangaka wrote that for people who dont think? I usually forgive certain shows like hpulley said , shot off our brains or check them at the door ,,, but when a show is like this I expect it be more intelligent

I also know what their contraption is for and it will be a spoiler if I say what their target is ,

I must say I was quite impressed with the 1st 2 eps, though the bratty behavior from Eren was a little much for me, but that's why I'm so glad Mikasa was there a few times to straighten him out. Something tells me she's going to prove to be an awesome fighter.

Ep 2 Spoiler

Also, did anyone notice @ the 4:57 mark of ep 2, Mikasa experiences something like a flashback or perhaps she was reading that one guy's mind (and perhaps that girl in the vision was his wife who was killed, which may be why he calls himself a coward now?)? Makes me wonder if Mikasa has some kind of special, hidden power.

I like the show but I think this will be a "check your brain at the door and just enjoy it" kind of action anime...

Haha, yeah, I try to do that w/every anime I watch, otherwise I know I won't enjoy it as much. I think the trend is, the more anime a person watches, the harder it gets to do that and the more a person tries to analyze and make sense of every minute detail. I know I can be guilty of that sometimes.

...And then theres the gigantic multiple walls that are 50m tall, constructed a hundred years ago. Huh? How? Unless they had enslaved the titans and made them build it. lol Maybe all their tech was wasted on the walls?

I thought it was Eren who has the premonitions. Didn't that happen again while he was sleeping or something like in the opening of the first episode?

I use my brain for anime like Shinsekai Yori and Psycho Pass where they are obviously trying to pass on some sort of moral, some ideals, ideas about the future, mankind, philosophy. Not sure we will get much philosophy in Titans but it looks like fun!

And we are only two episodes in. I really hope they will try to explain some of this further.

It would be nice if they explained how they built the walls so fast, why they havent developed better tech, why they forgot about tunnels as a safe escape route... where the giant titan came from... lol

I'm pretty sure it was Mikasa, because before the vision, she grabs her head, then the vision takes place, and then after the vision, you immediately see Mikasa still holding her head and then she says "Ah, it's happening again." As for the other visions, yeah, I think those ones are from Eren. If anyone has read the manga, please don't tell me what these visions were all about! I would rather find out by watching the anime. Thx!

no they don't need to eat, there sun powered... The people they eat after eating enough will puke them up and create new titans that look like the people they have eaten. 3 types of titans The priest and leaders know all about the titans, they only send people out to have them die off so they can get rid of the extra mouths to feed. O and the Titans are man made weapons using human testing to create super soldiers

do not read unless you really wanna know something else about the titans.

I really enjoyed the 2nd ep.. but I don't think I'll read this thread again. This is in the anime section.. right? I wish people would keep to the ANIME and not post what they've read in the manga here.. there are MANGA threads just for that! I didn't think I would have a problem reading "Spoilers" since I figured it would be about the anime and I've watched both episodes.. so I didn't think anything would be spoiled for me.. guess I was wrong.

You have only yourself to blame for reading spoilers, no one forced you to. Also AOT manga is relevant to this thread for obvious reasons, so its not like we are talking about Photo Kano manga in here.
